Focusing on the Pacific Alliance, he presented an analysis compared to other blocs in the region such as CELAC and Mercosul, highlighting advantages and limits of this model \u201cbased on shared ideas and norms, lean objectives and low institutionalisation\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detlef brought a recent conceptual debate by mentioning the \u201cparadox of autonomy\u201d, \u201ccross-regionalism\u201d and the \u201cweak regionalism\u201d, and pointed out characterics of the intra-regional cooperation in Latin America as examples: weak commercial intra-regional exchange (decreasing since 2012), strong incentives to trans-regionalism, difficulties to embrace the political dimension and \u201cobsession with sovereignty\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the professor, examples of the elements that distinguish the Pacific Alliance include: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the priority to reduce tariff barriers;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the creation of a platform to expand the economic relations with Asia (especially considering the dependency with regards to Chinese trade); and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the fact that the bloc does not influence autonomy in the four member states: Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Chile.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detlef expressed positive expectations regarding the alliance. However, he considered some challenges, the biggest one being the possibility of political-ideological changes in governments, as can be observed in the recent Mexican election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 3rd 2019, BRICS Policy Center hosted the seminar \u201cThe Pacific Alliance: Regionalism without stress\u201d by Professor Detlef Nolte, researcher at the German Institute of Global and Area Studies&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":9795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[218],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
